Hello,
Fort Hopkins was located in the Northeast Quarter of Section 1, Twp.2
South, Range 11 West. This is about one mile North of Princeton, on the
hill a few hundred feet West of Archer cemetery. This is also less than a
mile South of Lathom cemetery, which contains some of your Morrison and
Lathom Ancestors.
You can see the location on a map by going to the Gibson county Cemeteries
website, select Archer Cemetery, or go here:

Then, click on "locate it on a map". After the map has loaded, click on
the area of Archer Cemetery, and the map will re-center where it will also
show Lathom Cemetery.

Gibson County History Buffs,
Going through some notes taken some time ago and came across one made from
the "History of Gibson County, Indiana" by Gil R. Stormont. May have been
on page 340 of that book. Mention is made of three forts in Patoka
Township. These were Fort Branch, Fort Hopkins, and "one at William
Harrington's on the old McCurdy place."
I would like to learn more about Fort Hopkins. One of the surnames I am
researching is Hopkins and Patoka Township, Gibson County is the right area.
Also researching MORRISON, SPENCER, LONG, and LATHOM from Gibson County.
Can anyone help with information about Fort Hopkins?
